2021 FORD SUPER DUTY manual transmission

Your vehicle has an OBD Data Link
Connector (DLC) that is used in
conjunction with a diagnostic scan tool for
vehicle diagnostics, repairs and
reprogramming services. Installing an
aftermarket device that uses the DLC
during normal driving for purposes such as
remote insurance company monitoring,
transmission of vehicle data to other
devices or entities, or altering the
performance of the vehicle, may cause
interference with or even damage to
vehicle systems. We do not recommend
or endorse the use of aftermarket plug-in
devices unless approved by Ford. The
vehicle Warranty will not cover damage
caused by an aftermarket plug-in device.
Using your Vehicle With a
Snowplow
More information and guidelines for using
your vehicle with a snowplow are in this
Owner's Manual. See Snow Plowing
(page 321).
Using a Slide-In Camper
For information regarding the use of
slide-in campers, consult the Truck
Camper Loading document supplied with
your vehicle.
Using your Vehicle as an
Ambulance
If your light truck has the Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package, it may be utilized as
an ambulance. We urge ambulance
manufacturers to follow the
recommendations of the Ford Incomplete
Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder ’s
Layout Book and the Qualified Vehicle
Modifiers (QVM) Guidelines as well as pertinent supplements. For additional
information, please contact the Truck Body
Builders Advisory Service at
http://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/
and then by selecting Contact Us or by
phone at 1–877
–840–4338.
Use of your Ford light truck as an
ambulance, without the Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package voids the Ford New
Vehicle Limited Warranty and may void
the emissions warranties. In addition,
ambulance usage without the preparation
package could cause high underbody
temperatures, overpressurized fuel and a
risk of spraying fuel which could lead to
fires.
If your vehicle has the Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package, it will be indicated
on the Safety Compliance Certification
Label. The label is on the driver side door
pillar or on the rear edge of the driver door.
You can determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer followed Ford ’s
recommendations by directly contacting
that manufacturer. The Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package is only available on
certain diesel engine equipped vehicles.
